the next Garden Makeover TSV is on the 13/04/20
Yes Strato,we have a cordless 2 batteries, hedge trimmer and a strimmer for less than that in a sale. Saw the ladders this morning and we paid half that price about 3 years from the now defunct Maplins.It is a different make..
I also separately bought a grass trimmer then a hedge trimmer, all at short-lived knock-down prices, and all using the same battery. So I can have 3 charged up ready to go.
Previously I used a very large self propelled petrol mower with a clutch and 3-speed gearbox! Although it was self-propelled, it was very heavy to manoeuvre and used to take about 1 1/2 hours to cut my grass.
I'd also tried a mains mower, but the multiple extension leads and the mower lead were a real pain, I spent more time moving them around than actually cutting the grass, and concentrating so as not to go over them and blow myself up!
In fact, changing to cordless was one of my best decisions.
So with the new mower and 3 batteries, it still takes 1 1/2 hours but it is almost a pleasure to do - - little noise, no wires, and very light to manoeuvre.
Anyone want to buy my petrol mower or my mains one?
which ones do you have, Kimby? Which corded ones did you have also?Stratobuddy! Is this similar to one you ordered last year? Or any reviews would be welcome? We have a local lawn-mowing service while Mr Akimbo is still working but once he retires this might be a luxury we relinquish. Mind you, having had a couple of cordless vacuums in the past I now have 2 corded ones as they are just more effective (IME).

Oh chocolate........Come to Blissy!Just turned over for a quick look and heard Chloe Everton say she can’t understand why anyone would have a corded mower because everything is cordless now, then goes on to say how her mower is corded so she’s thinking of buying the TSV, don’t know why she didn’t buy it when it was on last time if cordless is so much better, expensive battery perhaps? Anyway, that’s enough QVC BS in thirty seconds so off to join the husband in our garden, mowing the grass with our corded mower, then chocolate and films and box sets all day after FaceTiming everyone so yes, quite a busy day really.
Not nice weather here in fact it's freezing and I'm back to winter coat and woolly hat. Hopefully it will pick up tomorrow but I was watching one or two of the gardening shows today to get some ideas. Didn't buy anything today as although there's 3 easy pays, they've whacked up the postage on a lot of things and trying to disguise how few plants you get for quite a lot of money.I notice some complaints on Arsebook about the amount of gardening but we have to endure endless weekends of beauty and at least gardening iis seasonal whereas beauty never stops.
If it wasn’t so difficult to get the stuff elsewhere I don’t think there would be so many shows and surely in this nice weather no one is watching Q all day every day?
